legal battles are far from over jack smith also has subpoenas out to january jared kushner and ivanka trumpis evelyn barrett security reporter for the national. coast and former federal prosecutor, devlin. thank you both for being here. just from the prosecutors perspective i wonder how you interpret this string of victories for jack smith and what it means for future subpoenas like those of ivanka trump and jared kushner. >> alex, this goes to the heart of why the executive privilege defense or barriers won't work here because dating back to the united states versus nixon the supreme court made it clear that the executive privilege which doesn't exist won't shield the communications in the face of a criminal grand jury investigation which is what we have going on right here. these folks all indicate that smith zeroing in on people who are in a position to know about trump's state of mind the intent which is really gonna be the core of the controversy over whether he really believed that there was a problem with the election war what was he doing in terms of trying to overturn the election

ivanka trump has weighed in.we haven't heard a lot from her, frankly, since she's left the white house. but she says this on instagram i love my father. i love my country today. i am paying for both. i appreciate the voices across the political spectrum, expressing support and concern. um just weighing in from the former president's daughter and former white house official but the scene down in florida, where trump has been spending most of his time is this. according to the new york times he's been keeping a relatively normal schedule at mar-a-lago, which he calls my beautiful home. he's been dining with gas playing golf, telling nearly everyone that he's in a good mood, and that he believes the case against him by alvin bragg and the manhattan district attorney had fallen apart. that was until yesterday evening, and then everything changed and i was. talking to some people who were speaking with him, and they said look, he was caught off guard by this not necessarily the fact that it was going to happen, but he

. >> and let me play just for -- this is all bad flashbacks but this is the testimony from ivanka trump that talked about the way that her father, she was his key adviser, naupt just his daughter, was talking about mike pence literally leading up to the insurrection. here is this testimony. >> it was a different tone than i heard him take with the vice president before. >> the word that you relate to that the president called the vice president, apologize for being impolite, but you do remember what she said her father called him? >> the p-word. >> so, eugene, the reality is donald trump, one thing that really was made clear in the january 6th investigation is that the entire scheme ran through mike pence. and that it hinged on getting mike pence, pressuring him, using threats against his life, using whatever it took to get him to flip and do something illegal, to commit a crime and violate the electoral count and pretend he can change the election. it was clear donald trump believed that if he didn't do it, he deserved what he got. >> exactly. and this is like the final chance, right?

special counsel issued a subpoena for ivanka trump and her husband, jared kushner.hich i don't know, what's the point of subpoenaing ivanka? you know she's just going to plead the saks fifth. [ laughter ] "is donald trump your father?" "i do not recall." [ laughter ] and jared. serving jared raises some important and interesting legal questions like, can you subpoena a mannequin? [ laughter ] meanwhile, daddy donald has been trying to exploit the poisonous situation in east palestine, ohio, for political gain. trump went there yesterday to drop off crates of trump water. [ laughter ] not a joke. trump ice, crates of them. also lash out at president biden, his response to the toxic train wreck. trump told locals the biden administration showed "indifference" and "betrayal" but turns out, and you're not going to believe this, there's more to the story. [ laughter ] trump claimed he was there to help. so when secretary of transportation pete buttigieg showed up today, he was asked how he might be able to help. >> one thing he could do is express support for reversing t

investigations that are encircling donald trump, the subpoenas for mike pence, jared kushner, and ivanka trump along with jack smith special counsel probe, quote, underscoring how deeply into trump's inner circle jack smith is reaching, and in georgia, fulton county d.a. fani willis telling us decisions are imminent as the foreperson on the grand jury teases multiple indictments recommended as well. joining me now msnbc legal analyst. kellyanne conway, talking to the d.a., what do you expect she has to offer them in this investigation? >> she has a small detail about the campaign finance allegation that's at the heart of the hush money scandal. michael cohen when he paid stormy daniels $130,000 for which donald trump reimbursed him. he tried to call donald trump. he says trump didn't return his call. he got a call from kellyanne conway that said i'll pass that along to the boss. >> we know she she have had into the january 6th investigation. what does this tell us really about the stage of the investigation and really where it's head snd. >> -- head snd. >> we're talking about the manhattan d.

it's not reo make a decision -- >> to that question, which is the question, we know jared and ivanka trumpknow mark meadows, we know both mike pence and donald trump are aligned in this regard trying to fight a subpoena for mike pence. most of our prosecutors will say don't issue subpoenas for those people at the beginning, wait until the end. does that tell us anything? >> those aren't the only subpoenas he's been issuing. other people have been coming before the grand jury, including three trump attorneys involved in the whole classified documents dispute. there's been a lot happening. the fact that the former president is continue to go harp on this idea of indictment, maybe something is comen soon. we'll see. >> he would know more than we would, because of the secrecy rules. >>> up next, former trump campaign chairman striking a multimillion dollar settle went with that same justice department. ers. i just saw something that said you could do it in a year for, like, $11k. hmm. barista: order eleveven! yeah, see you at 11. 1111 masters boulevard, please. gonna be eleven even, buddy. rea

again, if this was donald trump jr., ivanka trump and jared kushner receiving these sort of mysterious payments, what do you think the media coverage would look like? remember the apocalypse in a certain movie i'm referring to? that's what it would look like. 24/7. instead, silence of the lambs. >> martha: thanks, joe. good to have you here. >> happy st. patrick's day. well-dressed. >> martha: you too. president xi jinping is really elevating his role in so many aspects of what is going on around the globe. now he's getting ready for a big meeting with that man, vladimir putin, and it's going to happen monday. what are they going to talk about? what does xi want from him? senator tom cotton standing by. paying off your car loan y and paying off your high rate credit card debt? and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with a newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 - with no upfront fees. no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection, or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. my moderate to se

lent money to donald trump, ivanka trump was a member of its board of directors when she was just 29ael cohen was a customer, charles kushner as well. it is an incredibly hollow argument, and once again, the fuzziness and squishiness of this term of wokeness is applied in such an absurd way. >> because it doesn't mean anything it only means something to black folk in the 1940s when they started saying it. it just means black. when they say it, that's what they mean. anyway, it's always good to see you, david thank you. appreciate you very much >>> coming up, with an indictment apparently right around the corner, trump's attorney is dropping hints about a potential defense strategy, or our legal expert will explain the melania defense and why it might not work for the donald. lomita feed is 101 years old. when covid hit, we had some challenges. i heard about the payroll tax refund that allowed us to keep the people that have been here taking care of us. learn more at getrefunds.com. i work hard, and i want my money to work hard too. so, i use my freedom unlimited card. earning on my f

. >>> so we just got the first comments from ivanka trump, the president's daughter who was a senior the president when he was in the white house, and here's what she says it's very interesting. i love my father and i love my country. today i am pained for both i appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern as you may know that when the former president decided to run again, it was clear that she and her husband jared kushner were not going to be part of this campaign they were parts of the previous campaign and the administration. she simply says now i am pained for my father and my country the charges against donald trump may indeed complicate his run for president, but they don't stop him, of course, from running. that we know, but critically what we don't know is how the indictment will impact trump's campaign and the race overall. brendan buck is the former communications adviser to house speakers john boehner and paul ryan also with me former prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst charles coleman. i guess if we're going to talk about 2024, one

lebanon, in case donald trum president trump ever ran out o spoons also this portrait given t ivanka trumples and this fake diamond encruste falcon from kuwait, which is sitting on a sort of creep severed faulconer's hand also, inexplicably, this statu of pumpkins. someone must be a big pumpki fan in the trump white house all of these gifts were give to president trump and members as of his family by foreig governments, and all of them plus 100 or so more, wheneve reported to the government a required by law. the national archives -- has since got their hands on most of these items, though it remains unclear how many wer returned before trump left office and how many were returned after he left office. but there are still two item that are missing, including 7000 dollar set of golf club from japan, and what i described as a larger than lif sized painting of donald trump commissioned by the presiden of el salvador, which tells yo a lot about trump's passions golf and himself coming up, the problems keep mounting for house speaker kevin mccarthy over hi decision to hand over roughl 40,000 ho

but just in the last few hours want to read to you this on instagram post by his daughter, ivanka trump that says i love my father. i love my country today. i am paying for both. i appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern now, one of his attorneys said that you should expect his legal team. to file some motions to dismiss here. listen. i would think. in very short order, you'll see a motion to dismiss or several motions to dismiss talking about this kind of impossible theory of stacking a federal crime into a state misdemeanor statute of limitations issues and very importantly, the intent to defraud. that's an element of these false recordkeeping charges. that's just not present here. and he says he doesn't know the exact timing on when you might see that, but you know, timing also interesting here in terms of when we will see any sort of movement point sort of insight that might let us know what the next move will be from the former president again expected to stay here over the weekend and leave monday. but we're not exactly sure what that wil

former staffers, colleagues and friends who were calling on white house staff people like him, ivanka trump, those closest to trump, to very directly and explicitly call down the rioters and tell them to stop what they were doing. >> miles, it seems like one of the pieces that legal analysts thought needed to be sort of a loop that needed to be closed or part of the case against trump in terms of the criminality that the congressional probe was able to establish and prove was his state of mind and his intent. it seems like this last list of witnesses, meadows, robert o'brien his national security adviser, stephen miller, dan scavino, sort of his human twitter fingers, these are the closest people to him. these people are his state of mind. >> nicolle you're absolutely right about that. you know, look, put january 6th aside, you know any time there would be a meeting in the oval office with the president, these were the types of players who would be there and hear donald trump express his grievances, propose courses of action and really get insight into his intent. i was there on many occasi

his brother, eric trump, tweeted this is third world prosecutory who would have guess ivanka could dumpefore melania. she's done with politics. she wants to spend more time waiting for her husband to go through puberty. [laughter] >> jimmy: and spend more time with their kids, joseph and theodore. do you think trump knows his kids' names? maybe joseph. i feel the trump kids are divided into two camps. those who may visit him in prison or those who may join him there. this is the kind of perfect, when the news came in, fox was busy whining about, guess what? trans athletes and college sports. >> there are a lot of male coaches and in the ncaa who are forcing this on. >> do they identify as male? >> all right, we are going to break in with this fox news alert. we got word former president trump has been indicted. >> i think jesse waters broke when they heard that. >> jimmy: last time they were straight about him. last time we got insights on what went down at fox news after the election thanks to these e-mails released as result of the lawsuits from the di minion voting system. trump inci

literally, nobody likes donald trump. ivankant, i'm no longer with the guy. >> i will read that. she says, i love my father and i love my country, as if they are separate >> they are opposite >> i'm paying for both i appreciate the voices across the spectrum expressing support and concern. >> it's such a carefully crafted statement. three people helped her write that the net of it is, i'm not with this guy anymore i told you, i've had it. if she's had it, might the republicans take a page out of that the answer is no that's the infection of donald trump is that it's no longer just trump it's that he is actually moved an entire party into absolute comfort with lying, with creating an utterly fictional reality with gaslighting we moved a whole country to -- half of the country to its worst instincts, he has. that is a terrifying thought we live in a terrifying time right now. when you think of the range of things that threaten us, it's no wonder -- i notice, for example, this is anecdotal, i notice so many people talking about all

jack smith has ramped up trying to get the testimony from pence, ivanka trump and jared kushner. e you are correct that the charges are so vastly different between former president trump and former vice president pence and president biden, voters conflate all the charges. it's kind of a wash and is politically a blessing for donald trump, especially with republican primary voters who are already there for him. it gives him a little extra pop even if you're a republican who was wavering and would prefer to move away from trump. >> former president trump will be the final speaker of the annual conservative political action conference, cpac on saturday. who will be there and who won't be there? let's bring in dasha burns live from cpac in national harbor, maryland. the conference kicks off today. it's making news for who's in attendance and maybe who's skipping it. set the scene for us? >> reporter: that's exactly right. the buzz around cpac this year is less about who's going to be on that stage behind me and more about who is not taking the stage this year. most notably, trump's li

can you imagine a world where multiple members of the trump family, trump, jr., ivanka, received multipleergy country for services rendered? we don't know where the services rendered in the biden's case, so many family members received hundreds of thousands of dollars in the latest bank receipt bombshell mr. comer has unleashed here. look the bottom line, stu, until we see a media actually take interest in this maybe the bidens can get away with this. that is ultimately where the court of public opinion will be swayed. stuart: i need to get this in. former white house press secretary jen saki debuted her new show over the msnbc weekend. she said you have to wave the woke flag. you think that is reliable, intelligent political move, wave the woke flag for democrats? >> well, it is amusing, stu, when looking back there was a bidding war for jen psaki's services between cnn and msnbc. when she finally has a show on msnbc, they give her the noon slot on weekends which isn't exactly a highly paid host would covet to do a show. as for psaki's argument, she is woke as they come. as press secreta

(vo) some people say the metaverse will only be virtual. but firefighters entering a burning house... will one day save time when lives are on the line. visualizing a patient's most recent scan... will help speed up decision making in the er. and while the woolly mammoth is still extinct... that doesn't mean students can't take field trips to visit them. the metaverse may be virtual, but the impact will be real. >> i really do believe that the worst part of what happened yesterday is that at a time when we're facing large intractable

ivanka. he said, a tweet noting that trump's daily schedule carried the vague assurance of the present would, many calls and have many meetings that were from early in the morning and late in the evening. i think what they meant is that the present will wake up early and commit many many crimes, including, but not limited to obstruction of justice, attempted fraud, and treason in an effort to conduct a coup that he will fly to a rally and further insight the same. it is disheartening. the only clear-cut evidence of voter fraud is a failed attempt from trump. what seems significant is not that even his former staffers suggested he is likely to commit crimes from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to bed, but it is interesting to hear from that, but the senior executive at fox news says this, the only clear-cut evidence of voter fraud is the failed attempt from trump. am i reading that right? is that a significant piece here that a fox executive is acknowledging that the only evidence of voter fraud that they have seen come across their desks is potentially from trump himself? yes. part

trump moscow project. as donald star trek, shun in connection with him, ivanka, jared, abby lowe, ty cobb and whole slew of other people, was told to say three. the real truth is that the answer was ten i spoke to donald about it ten times. that is the big lie. and if joe tacopina, tha unions that he is things tha that is going to keep me fro being the witness that alvin bragg believes me to be, wit all the documentary evidence he needs a refresher course an law. >> finally michael, you worked with president trump for man years. you know him personally and yo have seen him, you have seen what he feels pressured or threaten how do you expect him to respond if indeed charges ar filed whenever if an arrest is made and a criminal proceeding takes place, how do you think he will respond? >> obviously not well. that is why he is calling for protest. what he is doing is he i trying to threaten alvin bragg he is trying to threaten the american judicial system tha not just alvin bragg but fan willis in georgia. washington, and a court that things that they are going t bring donald trump in, i a going to call for a

rupert murdoch has always thought trump was kind of a buffoon. when ivankaoing to run for president, he didn't even look up from his soup. he said, no, he is not. they didn't take trump seriously. well, now trump is their entire business model. what these filings show is just how these power brokers, we assume they were power brokers of the gop, murdochs, fox news, were powerless at the hands of their base when the base turned on them because fox turn on donald trump. you see -- >> they called the 2020 presidential election. >> exactly. that's how the base saw it. right? >> i think it's dangerous to adopt the language of the -- they asked their decision desk who won arizona. >> that's the irony. fox got in such hot legal water because they made the right call at first. they were the first news organization to say trump is going to lose arizona. therefore, probably the white house. >> which was right. >> a lot of organizations were not on board with that at first. we waited to make that call. >> saturday, right? >> fox made the call. there was such backlash t

talked about ho humiliating it was for trump talking about overstating hi assets, his apartment, but the truth is since that he is stil living his life. -- and ivanka are living th highest life they've eve lived. but tonight, this is different story. >> it is a different story for now i mean, i think there ha been this long outstanding i that donald trump is somehow above the law, that donald trump has nine legal lives and the law is never going to catc up with him. and tonight, the law finally caught up to him i think this is the weakes case of all the cases agains him in terms of it being a existential threat i still think it is importan that the justice department ge in the next year, because think ultimately that is the only case that is going to kee them out of the white hous again and i do not think tha is a political issue, i thin it is an existential issue we don't trump tried to torc the constitution, it should be kept as far from the white house as possible. having said all of that, i think that alvin bragg had t pursue his own case. he had to follow the law the way that he saw it, when so no he has landed this on the home trump's doorste

emails, complaining about the decision desk at fox news, wondering why trump had gone mad and why the children -- i guess jared and ivankaence there -- were not effective in trying to help the president in those really critical weeks after the election. >> chuck, let's talk about the legal basis here. this is basically a defamation suit. a huge dollar number they put on their damage request in their complaint. what are their chances of winning given all this material that has come out? >> generally, first, for context, defamation suits are hard to win. there's a good reason for that. journalists, reporters are very good at what they do, but they're not perfect. they make mistakes. mistakes are not actionable under defamation law. you would have to show that a reporter or a journalist reported false information maliciously, actual malice. it's a tough standard. now here in this case, andrea, dominion has some pretty good evidence that fox acted maliciously. fox will say in court when the trial begins in april in delaware that we are giving a platform to people making these claims, even if we don't believe it ourselves. do

educated voters who vote with him who know full well that donald trump, living at his golf club in palm beach, his son-in-law and daughter ivanka make 600 million bucks? who is still believing this? >> it does not matter what you believe, you just have to believe in the guy. that is what i've been saying, it is just a terrorist movement at this point. it's not about policy. >> let's not be comical about that. >> i'm not comical, they are terrorists. remember that, republican party did not offer a platform in 2020. they just said that we are firm our loyalty to donald trump. they did not say tax policies, they did not say security policies, they did not say a new environmental policy, they didn't have any educational policy. they said this man. then you have hundreds of members of congress who voted to not confirm the last election, and then you had people who are still getting an investigation into a violent coup on this country. there is no other exclamation for that than terrorism at this point. he is the leader of that movement and i know that there are nice, educated people who say, well, it is -- it's not just rhetoric any

subpoenas to jared kushner, to ivanka, to mike pence, and then the final point on mike pence, the discrepancy between his book tour, where he said, oh, this is just a dispute between trumpng his legal advice and me following my legal advice that is really different to what he said behind closed doors at the gridiron dinner where he said it's his fault and he endangered my family his story has really changed and it's pathetic that he did it in a way that couldn't be aired on tv and shown on fox news where people could see it and it was, obviously, to my mind deliberate that he did it that way. but it's a real discrepancy in terms of his changing his position, but you could be sure if jack smith gets him in a grand jury he is going to be asked about that. >> yeah, i mean, i think the 64 million-dollar question is did he do that so trump wouldn't see it or because jack wouldn't see it we have to fit it in a break later a big development in the fight protect access to reproductive health care a federal judge in texas could soon ban a key abortion drug not just in texas, but all across the country. a hearing is scheduled for tomorrow "deadline: white house" continues after a
